Syntax

Dim variableName As New LCStream(maxLength, flags, format)

Parameters


Parameter	Description
maxLength	Long. Optional. Maximum length that this stream's data can be. A value of zero indicates no maximum, which is not valid with the flag LCSTREAMF_FIXED. Default is 0.
streamFlags	Long. Optional. Flags for this stream. When using the flag LCSTREAMF_FIXED to create a fixed-length stream, the stream's data buffer is allocated to be maxLength bytes. Refer to the Stream Flags section for a description of the flags. The default is 0.
format	Long. Optional. Initial stream format to be assigned to the stream. The default is LCSTREAMFMT_UNICODE.

Example

Option Public
Uselsx "*lsxlc" 
Sub Initialize
	Dim times As New LCStream (0, 0, LCSTREAMFMT_DATETIME_LIST)
	Dim fixedMessage As New LCStream(30, LCSTREAMF_TRUNCATE, LCSTREAMFMT_NATIVE)
	Dim timeToday As New LCDateTime, timeTomorrow As LCDatetime
	Call timeToday.SetCurrent
	Set timeTomorrow = timeToday.Copy( )
	Call timeTomorrow.Adjust(LCDTUNIT_DAY, 1)
	Call times.DatetimeListInsertValue (1, timeToday)
	Call times.DatetimeListInsertValue (2, timeTomorrow)
	fixedMessage.Text = "begorrah! he cried, tapping on the backs of the sleeping tortoises."
		' We used the Truncate flag, so the code doesn't cause an overflow error.
	Print {Times = "} & times.Text & {", message = "} & fixedMessage.Text & {"}
End Sub

Example Output

Times = "03/13/2002 04:16:41.57 PM, 03/14/2002 04:16:41.57 PM", message = "begorrah! he cried, tapping on"
